This group was founded by Darrell Glover, who flew over the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and took aerial photos. He was shocked at the loss of foals and yearlings he saw, yet last year, the Alberta government was going to capture and send to slaughter approximately 200 horses. Glover exposed the lack of credible data by the ESRD. The response from the public was amazing. People volunteered, protested, camped out in -30 C weather, brought trailers full of hay, took bales on snowmobiles to the starving horses to draw them away from the traps. 5 people were arrested. But in the end, only about 15 horses were taken.

Find out why things are so different this year, as another cull is currently taking place. Could this happen here?

Note from Debbie – this is where you can write to tell Alberta government that you won’t be spending your tourism dollars there since they’re removing the wildies:

Horses lose their freedom. Lose their family group. Lose their birthright. Lose their life.
This isn’t about how being captured and tamed benefits the horses. This is about a systematic, inhumane, cruel, unjustified annihilation of wild horses off Public Lands. This is about a Government that operates in secrecy. This is about a Government that plays one group off against another to achieve its goals. This is about a Government that manipulates with lies and deceit. This is about a Government that refuses to listen to logic, fact, and scientific data. This is about a Government that panders to commercial interests. This is about a Government that has consistently shown that it is incapable of making informed, fact based, scientifically sound, unbiased decisions regarding land and wildlife management. This is about a Government that uses bullets, poison and slaughter houses to cover up its mistakes and hide the evidence of its complete and total ineptitude.

The special interests behind these attacks on North America’s Wild Horses and Burros have no intention of letting them remain on Public lands
It’s very clear that ALL Horses and Burros, wild or domestic, are up against an international cartel.
It is going to take an International Coalition in order to put a stop to it.

Great show, lots of facts came out. One thing I want to add is that WHOAS has signed on the dotted line to cull the wildies from our Public Lands, if ESRD instructs them to. Also the wildies are not protected in the entire Sundre Zone. WHOAS only has a trial in the Eastern 1/3rd and the remaining 2/3rds is open to capture and cull. Very sad that 12 of our majestic wildies lost their freedom today and even sadder that 7 of them are facing the horrors of the slaughter house. This thanks to a complete betrayal from WHOAS/ESRD and their dirty deal. Dr. Samson-French had all captures and culls stopped during her trial program. Shame, shame, shame. Thanks to Gail and Debbie for all this information and the opportunity to tell everyone!
